Konrad Grob ( Swiss, 1828 – 1904)

This lovely 19th century oil painting on canvas depicts a shepherdess sitting on a stone amidst a mountain landscape, with a lone goat looking up at her. She sits with her arms crossed and a sickle in one hand. Her expression gives the viewer the sense that she is content. The period gilt wood frame compliments it beautifully; a wonderful addition to any collection.
